Granite Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 05/07/2012 8:10 pm I just did a brief Internet search but I could not find any information regarding the release date for the ATB 5 ounce silver coin for the El Yunque rain forest. I am looking for information regarding the bullion version, not the P mint marked collectors version. Has anyone read anything and can shed some light on this? I am also interested in potential mintage figures if anything has been posted. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 02:51 am The Mint still has inventory of 2011-dated bullion in stock, and are selling to the APs in 500 oz. increments. They have plenty of Olympic, Vicksburg and Chickasaw themed coins on hand for at least the next three years. If anything, they might run the 2012 collector pucks in a strictly limited mintage or to demand in an open order window, but they are barely moving a 100 collector coins a week of the 2011s as it is. Might be a good chance for a no show this year. Edit- There was a brief tantalizing snippet dropped by the deputy director back in January: the ATB pucks had been "pencilled" in at 45,000 bullion and 25,000 collector coins per design, but absolute silence and total speculation since.
